You can melt down almost any kind of aluminum—cans, even—but a piece that has already been cast (such as a water pump, wheel, or intake manifold) will have an alloy that's better suited for casting.

Project will develop the science and engineering of 3D printed sand-casting molds The base year of the contract is worth $4.6 million; four one-year options, if all are exercised, would bring the ...
